During the Civil War of 1918-1922, launched by the invasion of 19 foreign armies against the Bolshevik regime, between 50,000 and 200,000 Jews were killed in Ukraine alone, mostly by counter-revolutionary White and Ukrainian nationalist forces.

Polish armed forces also participated in the notorious pogrom of Pinsk, in which 35 Jews were murdered.
Poland’s prime minister justified it by saying that it was a “matter of pure Bolshevism. We executed the people responsible for the crime, and they happened to be Jews.”

It helped mobilize fascist regimes and far-right forces across Eastern Europe, including the governments of Romania and Hungary and the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN-B), in what the Nazis portrayed as an anti-Bolshevik and anti-Jewish crusade.
In Ukraine, the OUN-B committed horrific pogroms against the Jewish population—most infamously in Lviv.
Romania' s fascist Iron Guard carried out the largest state-sponsored anti-Jewish massacres and pogroms outside of the Nazi-occupied countries.

On this solemn anniversary of the liberation of #Auschwitz, I would like to remind you how and where it began more than a decade earlier, in #Ukraine.
